Use dos2unix for conversion of the longer file and try again:

That sounds the ticket - but is there anything that runs under Windows
to do the trick?

OK, got a version

has dos2unix.exe for Windows. And it solves the problem.
Many thanks all for help on this baffling error

I use metapad for simple text editing, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metapad
It's free, loads very quickly, and has a number of features I like. One
of its trivial features is to read/write files in four different
formats. In the file menu, you just choose what file-format you need now.
Another thing I'd point out is that some ftp programs will do this
conversion as the file is being sent between a local DOS machine and a
Unix machine on the internet.
